This video covers accessing a web site that is normally unreachable from our Backtrack 5 box. However, after gaining a session on a third box, we forward our web browser through the compromised host in order to browse the website. The port forwarding is done via a meterpreter session on the compromised host. After setting up the port forward, the browser is able to use the compromised host as a relay (almost like a web proxy) in order to browse to the "internal" web application.
